DD's Flymagic Day Out

Just for a change, here are some pictures from my day with the guys and girls from Flymagic. An excellent day out, starting off with a flight in a Bell Ranger 106, flown by a very experienced (read loony..) pilot named James. Followed by some time on a simulator, then they let me loose in the chopper ;-) see, I told you they were nuts!! Thanks to Mike Armstrong, and all his team for a great day out, you've certainly changed the way I look at helicopters. Oh, and if you're wondering, they are almost as grin inducing as Caterhams, but a damn sight harder to control.....

The briefing.
The whirly things above you are quite dangerous..;-)
Yep, that was fun....
Top Gun, here I come!
There were one or two other nice things to look at.
But back to the serious stuff, DD's about to fly their precious chopper!
Getting strapped in.
and they really did let me fly it..James, you're one brave man, anytime you want a ride in my Caterham, just ask ;-)
Safely back to earth, great day!
